Educational technology is more about strategically leveraging technology to enhance, transform, and even redefine teaching and learning than just merging education with technology. You have to be a strong educator equipped with learning theories, educational methodologies, and statistical analysis in the first place to be a successful educational technologist.
If this future becomes reality, there will be a massive wave of job displacement as AI takes over across various industries and job markets. But a wide horizon of opportunities will rise. Instead of a position of making decisions in a company, there will be a position of training the AI to make that decision and to maintain its logic.
As a bizarre example, companies might not need IT (Information Technology) officers anymore! Instead, they might employ AIT (Artificial Intelligence Technology) officers, whose main responsibility is training and maintaining the company’s AI model to solve the company’s technical issues!
Looking back, I wish I had access to tools like DeepSeek. During my development process. In my recent experimenting with this open-source AI model, I’ve found it provides structured, research-paper-like responses with meaningful technical information from the first interaction. This would have significantly streamlined my research phase. Definitely, DeepSeek wouldn’t have appeared if ChatGPT hadn’t existed in the first place. But the super abilities that DeepSeek came with as it came into existence, plus being open-source, makes it super competent to the existing AI tools.
This story always reminds me how much work we still have to do in Lebanon to bridge the gap in technological literacy among educators!
In creating interactive educational tools, simplicity is power. A minimalist design doesn’t just look clean; it helps learners focus on what truly matters. Instead of overwhelming the user with unnecessary details, focus on providing a clear, interactive interface that mirrors the real-world experience.
That moment stuck with me. It showed me how powerful simulations can be in breaking down complex ideas. It’s the reason I decided to learn how to develop science simulations to make learning easier for others.
Sometimes, all it takes is one moment to change your path!
I created this course and published it on my Moodle platform. Each module is a SCORM package, with a course evaluation survey at the end and a completion certificate.
The course is tracked, and you must successfully complete each chapter to unlock the next one. The course is fully learner-centered.
Designed to replicate the functionality of a real oscilloscope, the Virtual Oscilloscope has captivated the attention of students, educators, and electronics enthusiasts alike. Its intuitive interface and accurate waveform representations have garnered positive feedback, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in circuit analysis and electronic waveforms. I extend my gratitude to all those who have supported me and invite others to join this immersive learning experience.
In this game, you must employ the projectile equations to win.
The game consists of three levels, each of which must be completed by scoring at least 8 out of a possible 10 tries. In the first level, you must hit a ground target that shifts position after each attempt. In the second level, you will need to alter the ball’s trajectory to pass over a wall. In the third level, the target flies and changes position both horizontally and vertically in each trial.
In order to gamify the learning process, I developed this educational game. The player engages in a traditional pong game in this activity. A multiple-choice question, however, appears when the player loses a ball. The lost ball is brought back if the player selects the right answer, but if the player selects a wrong answer twice, the lost ball is not recovered, and the game is resumed. The cycle repeats until all three balls are lost.
